Venue: Gallery CA photo credit: Stew Mostofsky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57c30d7ecd0f6844bccd3cb1/1525130157907-1KQR0DF4EVLDVOWJLHZB/touch+and+be+touched.JPG WORK - Touch and be Touched An installation and performance, using Makeymakey technology, that invites participants to touch the performer in the room. With each touch a “message” is sent, indicated by sounds taken from communication platforms such as Facebook chat, Instant Messenger, and iMessage. The performer overloads. The inbox overflows. The texts inundate. The performer crashes.

When we first met in 2015, we were finding ourselves in situations of surreal overlapping identity where our housemates were confusing us with each other. It was both absurd and surprised neither of us. Our work always circles back to these questions: how can people like us—queer, gender non-conforming, East Asian people—build power with each other if we are seen as identical? How do our persons stretch to be at once threatening (especially in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic), harmless (especially in comparison to Black people), and interchangeable (especially in media)? How do we shoulder the perpetual foreignness that we are assigned while managing the distance that we feel from our own cultural and ancestral roots? Our process weaves dreamscapes from shadow puppetry, archival audio, and comedy to unearth the absurdity and revelation of our sameness. More info at soandbex.com.
